** The Cultural Survival Bazaar
Virtual Festival Series
November 14 - December 4
------------------------------------------------------------

This Bazaar season, after 46 years of hosting in-person Bazaars in Cambridge, Massachusetts, we are coming together virtually with to deepen connections as a community, and deepen our understanding of the role of art, nature, tradition, justice and family within Indigenous cultures.

Over the years, Cultural Survival has worked with thousands of vendors in solidarity and with full knowledge of the spiritual, and economic power of creativity at the heart of Indigenous communities.

Watch a short season summary from our Bazaar Program Manager!


** Watch!
------------------------------------------------------------

On November 14 ([link removed]) and November 30 ([link removed]) , the Virtual Showcases will exhibit short clips of 13 vendors telling their stories and sharing their items for purchase.

For the Showcases, we have chosen to use the words of poetic scientist Robin Wall Kimmerer, a professor and enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, to frame the vendors’ stories. All quotes shown are from her book Braiding Sweetgrass, and will connect us together; aiming to nourish the parts of us that feel uncertain of the future.

** Schedule a Personal Shopping Session!
------------------------------------------------------------

Need some advice or do not know where to start? Customers can request one-hour personal shopping sessions with Cultural Survival staff knowledgeable about vendors, products, and website navigation. All shopping carts will be loaded on Square and processed with a custom receipt. All personal shopping sessions will be scheduled to fall between November 16 and December 4. For more information, please contact: [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) or at 617-441-5400 ex. 18.


** Shop!
------------------------------------------------------------

Dozens of vendors, not shown in Showcase clips, are instead represented in our Vendor Directory at bazaar.cs.org. Please visit and shop online for gifts for your loved ones and support Indigenous artists.

The Indigenous Boutique is a new venture for the Cultural Survival Bazaar. Each participating Bazaar vendor will list five items on our online shop. This will give customers the opportunity to shop directly from the Bazaar with upwards of 100 Indigenous art and craft items to peruse. The Indigenous Boutique will launch on November 16.
